Testing local host adaptation and phenotypic plasticity in a herbivore when alternative related host plants occur sympatrically.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2013

Ruiz-Montoya Lorena, Núñez-Farfán Juan

Abstract excerpt

Host race formation in phytophagous insects can be an early stage of adaptive speciation. However, the evolution of phenotypic plasticity in host use is another possible outcome. Using a reciprocal transplant experiment we tested the hypothesis of local adaptation in the aphid Brevicoryne brassic...
